Premier to my respect, and well, sometimes envy is my esteem for writers and authors. Perhaps because I learned to read at age two, the written word has ever since had my un-waivering loyalty and devotion. Recently, my attention has returned to the literary world as I dealt with my personal response to losing two very different literary voices: Ray Bradbury and Nora Ephron

Mr. Bradbury has a unique position in the world of fiction writing and I grew up reading his short stories and being captivated by his genius. As a kid growing up in Los Angeles, I was taken with the fact that this icon lived in the same city I did-- however, he refused to learn to drive and that small (ecological) statement confounded me. How could anyone live in Los Angeles and not drive! And he was such a smart guy....what did he understand and know that I didn't? Ah well.

Fast forward to San Diego, March, 2006. I was the senior minister at the Pacific Church and we began to co-sponsor events with The Lear…

As a very young girl, I often dreamed of a way that I could somehow publish and share my feelings and creative ideas. Short of saving up enough money to take out a full-page ad in the NY Times, I did the best I could with telling my story or the occasional burst of poetic overflow to those near and dear to me.
Therefore, blogging is the ideal manifestation of a means by which my esoteric and quirky points of view would not only have expression but just might resonate with the readers.
Take a breath. You are welcome to join me.
